Movie Mirrors
Last night, my friends and I watched Keifer Sutherland’s Mirrors. We saw the trailer before watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2and were really enraptured. Anyway, it’s supposed to be a horror film so we made sure to watch it at night. :)
The plot’s really simple: An ex-detective, Sutherland …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey has always been a very cool and talented actor. And I remember after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I feel that this is something like the effect of having a too much technical jargon of a life.
I wouldn’t ever trade my previous memories …
The Usual Suspects movie
I just watched the movie “The Unsual Suspects” last week on a bootleg DVD someone had of it, so I’m not completely sure what quality the actual DVD would be. I heard a lot of good things about this movie before I actually got to watch it, one of …

Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …

This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
Batman: The Dark Knight
“Batman: The Dark Knight” was one of the most memorable movies which was released in the year 2008. When I first saw it advertising with the late actor “Heath Ledger” I did not think tha the movie would be good, since I had only previously seen him in …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
Mean Girls movie

Earth (2007) movie
I had been looking forward to watch this movie ever since I had seen its trailer for the first time. The movie has been promoted as a movie for everyone, because we all belong to the nature and we should love it. This is one of the most shocking …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

Staying Alive movie
I only just saw Staying Alive for the first time recently. I haven’t even seen Saturday Night Fever all the way through. I’ve only seen pieces of it. The stories never intrigued me, but I did wonder a lot about Finola Hughes, who I’ve met at …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …

This Must Be the Place (2011 film by Paolo Sorrentino)
“This Must Be the Place” by director Paolo Sorrentino is not a perfect movie. However, it is damn well close to being one.
Be cautious though, don’t expect too much of it. It’s not exactly filled with Oscar winning materials. It is more of a cult film, and it’s superb way …

The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …
The Phantom Of The Opera (2004) Movie
A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1
The Invention of Lying
I was expecting The Invention of Lying to be a romantic comedy, and only a decent one, because while I love Ricky Gervais, I do not enjoy the movies which Jennifer Garner does. I figured Gervais’ wonderful, sarcastic, dry, British humour would carry this movie. While Gervais was great, …
